Children who grow up without a father's positive influence, regardless of the circumstances (that might include divorce, death of a spouse, out-of-wedlock birth, or adoption) are: Five times more likely to be poor, Twice as likely to drop out of high school, Three times more likely to become unwed teen mothers, More likely to end up in foster care or juvenile-justice facilities, More likely to grow up unemployed, incarcerated, or uninvolved with their own children.

Is it true that a father's positive influence is essential to the welfare of his children? If so, why? What are his parenting values, his traditions, and his beliefs?

Steve Horner, a full-time single parent of two boys, from their diaper days to their high school years, shares a father's point of view straight from the front-line trenches of single parenting-and straight from the heart. He leaves nothing out.

Review&colon;

At last! A parenting book for the single parent written from a man's perspective. Entertaining and devoid of psycho-babble, this book offers a highly personal account of the struggles every single parent faces, with lots of practical tips for helping children grow up to become well-adjusted adults. A must read for those embarking upon the challenge of single parenting! -- Wade F. Horn, Ph.D., President, the National Fatherhood Initiative

Store Description

The books listed on ABE are not always available in our stores. Please do not call our store locations for these items.
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in
Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest
selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in
business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations.
We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple
orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve
basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock.
Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
